Instructor: Hannah Mhairi

Get in the Holiday spirit by learning to make 1 sculptural pendant (snowman), 1 flat pendant, and 1 twisted pendant, off mandrel, using soft glass! Students will get to use 5 different colour patterns for their conceptual pendants. This is a beginner class and a great introduction to flameworking, while also suitable for experienced beadmakers who would like to try working off mandrel.

Students will learn torch and tool safety, how to gather and sculpt glass, begin to understand technical terms such as “heat base” and “core heat”, make pendant loops, and load the annealer safely. Students will be introduced to strikers, tweezers, pokers, mashers, and carving knives.   

No experience necessary. All materials are included. Age 16+

Students who have taken this workshop can attend Newbie Night.
